Nothing Succeeds Without aStrong Will

No great work can be performedwithout will. We envy famous men and imagine that fame was due tosome trick of luck. But when we know their histories, we find thatit is long years of will and constant effort that have broughtabout their success. Just as we can?t reach the top of a mountainwithout climbing, we can?t achieve success without will。

The modern society providespeople with more opportunities than before, and there are storieswhich tell us the possibility of becoming successful overnight.Actually that is not the case. Before these people becomesuccessful, a lot of hard work has been done, unnoticed mostly.What we usually see is the result, but what we ignore is a longprocess of struggling forward and wrestling with internal orexternal obstacles. Take “quitting smoking” for example, which is ,to most people , a difficult task, so people always give up theidea for they don?t have the strong will。

In a nutshell, strong will isan important condition or role of the success the individual shoulddesire to maintain forever. There is no instant success in thisworld. Strong will is the best policy to make your life distinctand your dreams come true。

第三篇短文

Proverbs, sometime s called…sayings? are examples of folk with them. Little listens whicholder people of the culture pass down to the younger people toteach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the valuesthat are important in the culture .V alues teach people how to act,what is right and what is wrong,. Because the values of the eachculture are different, understanding the values of another culturehelps explain how people think and act. Understanding your owncultural values is important too. if you can accept that peoplefrom other cultures act according to their values ,not yours,getting along with them will be much easier ,Many proverbs arevery old ,so some of the values they teach may not be as importantin the culture as they once were ,For example ,Americans today donot pay much attention to the proverb “haste makes waste ”，becausepatience is not important to them .but if you know about pastvalues ,it helps you to understand the present .and many of theolder values are still strong today .Benjamin Franklin ,a famou sAmerican diplomat ,writer and scientist, died at 1790 ,but hisproverb “time is money ”is taken more seriously by Americans oftoday than ever before .A study of proverbs from around the worldshows that some values are shared by many cultures .In many casesthough ,the same idea is expressed differently 。

Question 33-35 are based onthe passages you have heard

复合式听写原文：

Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own

company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single daymuch less or my life completely on my own. Even if I am on

vacation in t he mountains, I?m eating food someone else hasgrown, living in a house someone else has built, wearingclothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using

electricity someone else is distributing to my house。

Evidence of interdependence is everywhere. We are on this

journey together. As I was growing up, I remember beingcarefully taught that independence not interdependence waseverything. Make your own way, stand on your own two feet, or mymother?s favorite remark when I was face to face with consequencesof some action, …now that you?ve made your bed, lie on it?. Totalindependence is a dominant theme in our culture. I imagine thatwhat my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilityfor my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by ourcultural images. And instead I grew up believing that I wassupposed to be totally independent, and consequently became veryreluctant to ask for help. I would do almost anything not to be aburden and not require any help from anybody。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
